The health and welfare of toolmakers that use EDM graphite to make electrodes for use in the electrical discharge machining department should be a high priority for management. In addition to the health issues for the workers, […]
Choosing the correct EDM oil can make a substantial difference in the overall performance of your EDM department. […]
Copper is more efficiently cut on WEDM machines, which makes it cut much faster than graphite in WEDM. Highly detailed electrodes, […]
A major advance in the manufacture of dies and punches has been the use of wirecut EDM. This die is part of a three-unit pierce die assembly. […]
A simple wirecut EDM operation produced an intricate Ampco 45 bronze mount jaw, which requires tolerances to within +/-.0005″. The manufacturer saved an estimated $300 on special cutters, […]
Wirecut EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is a thermal machining process. Sparks discharged from a small-diameter, tensioned wire erode the workpiece without any contact between the tool and the part produced. […]
Conventional EDM equipment first appeared in the early 1950s, and performed simple machining utilizing the phenomenon of electrical spark but utilizes five heads mounted above discharge. […]
EDM dielectric additives can subtract labor costs for mold makers by eliminating the need for secondary hand polishing. […]
